Shower tray repair at your home in Thornwood
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. Typical jobs include a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and chipped corners or rims, on ceramic, acrylic and enamelled steel.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Why repair rather than replace?
The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Rinse away soap after showering
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
What we’re called out for in Thornwood
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Cracks running from the waste
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Chips caused during fitting
- Chipped corners or rims
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How your room will be protected
- Who will actually do the work
- How changes to the job are handled
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Trays cracked in several places
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Thornwood questions
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Glasgow. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
